To solve the expression (8 - 2 \times 3), you should follow the order of operations, which states that multiplication should be performed before subtraction. First, calculate (2 \times 3) to get (6). Then, subtract (6) from (8), resulting in (2). Therefore, (8 - 2 \times 3 = 2).
I believe it is 120. * * * * * That is a belief which may or may not be justified. I suggest 76, with the following justification: Fit the polynomial t(n) = (9x4 - 82x3 + 279x2 -398x + 216)/24 for n = 1, 2, 3, etc.
I didn't know how much you needed so I went up to 82x82. 82x1=82, 82x2=164, 82x3=246, 82x4=328, 82x5=410, 82x6=492, 82x7=574, 82x8=656, 82x9=738, 82x10=820, 82x11=902, 82x12=984, 82x13=1066, 82x14=1148, 82x15=1230, 82x16=1312, 82x17=1394, 82x18=1476, 82x19=1558, 82x20=1640, 82x21=1722, 82x22=1804, 82x23=1886, 82x24=1968, 82x25=2050, 82x26=2132, 82x27=2214, 82x28=2296, 82x29=2378, 82x30=2460, 82x31=2542, 82x32=2624, 82x33=2706, 82x34=2788, 82x35=2870, 82x36=2952, 82x37=3034, 82x38=3116, 82x39=3198, 82x40=3280, 82x41=3362, 82x42=3444, 82x43=3526, 82x44=3608, 82x45=3690, 82x46=3772, 82x47=3854, 82x48=3936, 82x49=4018, 82x50=4100, 82x51=4182, 82x52=4264, 82x53=4346, 82x54=4428, 82x55=4510, 82x56=4592, 82x57=4674, 82x58=4756, 82x59=4838, 82x60=4920, 82x61=5002, 82x62=5084, 82x63=5166, 82x64=5248, 82x65=5330, 82x66=5412, 82x67=5494, 82x68=5576, 82x69=5658, 82x70=5740, 82x71=5822, 82x72=5904, 82x73=5986, 82x74=6068, 82x75=6150, 82x76=6232, 82x77=6314, 82x78=6396, 82x79=6478, 82x80=6560, 82x81=6642, 82x82=6724
